Replying To shaggykev: "It was a fair comment.
Must say I'm quite depressed after that game. Barely a sheet of cigarette paper between ourselves, Armagh and Tyrone and Kerry have just embarrassed both of them.
Whether it's ourselves or Meath in the final, either team will be big underdogs now the sleeping giant has awoken.
That coupled with my nerves building for tomorrow.
And to add insult to injury, the house is like an oven with the heat so won't sleep a bloody wink ;)" Kerry will rightly be favourites against either Meath or ourselves but the final will be far from a foregone conclusion. Kerry have a squad of talented players and I think above all else they thrive on confidence. Once they got into their groove against Armagh they never lost it, although Armagh for their part helped them greatly by failing to vary the kickout.
Today, Tyrone did very well against Kerry in midfield. They suffocated them in the first 10 minutes. But for some sheer individual brilliance from David Clifford, Kerry were in danger of letting Tyrone out into a commanding lead. Kerry finished the half stronger and rightly went in in front, but from a Tyrone perspective the wides and shot selection in the second half were absolutely horrendous. In my opinion Kerry weren't carving through Tyrone, but the difference was they kept the scores ticking as Tyrones accuracy abandoned them. In particular there were 2 point efforts from Teague, McKernan and Donnelly which were frankly pitiful. The icing on the cake was the two pointer which was taken back for a free, which Morgan took short and McGeary made a plash of.
Kerry looked strong today without being obscenely good. The irony is I think if you swap Tyrone out for Armagh today, Armagh have the forwards to have kept Kerry more honest in the third quarter.
Kerry are stacked with talent and have shown obvious potential but I wouldn't write an obituary for the remaining semi finalists yet.

Replying To breffnibluewhite: "Tyrone will be doing well to keep the ball kicked out to kerry" They're unlikely to kick it out to Kerry, like Armagh did. A lot has been made about Kerry's golden 15 minutes in their quarter final and they were brilliant in that time. Malachy O'Rourke will have a few plans for them. It's 60/40 for Kerry I think but definitely wouldn't rule out Tyrone today.

Replying To Green&Gold2013: "Has he earned it? We have a team talented enough to win Sam but fails to do so. I think the county board should be asking serious questions.
Did any one listen to the Maroon and White podcast on the review of football year and the facts the stats man gave about John Daly and he couldn't understand how he wasn't picked ? Other questions need to be asked on why Cillian Mcdaid was dropped ?
There are no candidates in Galway to take Pj's position I agree, but are we just going to accept mediocre in Galway. Why not go for the best outside management there is, this window for this team could close soon and we may not have a team to compete for another 20yrs." Having watched Kerry V Tyrone it must be clear to all that we currently do not have a team with the talent to win SAM. We have some very good players, but we have a rapidly aging team.

Replying To kerry4sam25: "Word is Kevin O'Brien from Corofin has put name forward. Mick Lundy, Derek Savage,Dave Neary as selectors. Michael French from Kildare as trainer." Derek Savage? He didn't exactly pull up any trees in his time with the u20s....

These co-commentators from competing counties, like Fitzmaurice today, are very aggravating. We want co-commentary, not fans with typewriters. Hardly too much to ask of RTE, neutral co-comms, rather than fans of competing teams waxing lyrical about players and teams that they're big fans of.

Boys like you will be the ones crying looking tickets for the final." Tyrone on their day can beat any team. Some people are basing their arguments from matches that happen 8 to 10 weeks ago ( pre Ulster Final ). The Kerry forwards certainly won't get the space they got the last day.
If Tyrone can stay in the game I can see this match going down to the last 10 or 15 minutes and I certainly wouldn't bet against Tyrone.

Replying To foreveryoung: "Is that what poor ould Leitrim would be looking for, provided of course that they were able to field 15 in the first place, and secondly if they were ever able to manage to get out of the junior grade to somehow manage to make it up to the intermediate grade, and then to somehow miraculously make it to a teacup final? Is that how it would be in Leitrim? Undoubted answer is: YES!
You've a lot more than heat to be worrying about!" You obviously have a chip on your shoulder with regards to Leitrim. My fellow county man made a valid point about player safety and you put in a mocking response. Completely shows up what type of a poster you are. Seemingly couldn't care less about the players. And for your information there is no junior or intermediate competitions in inter county football so your post is bit cringey and im scarlet for you. I hope you enjoy the games today from the shade of wherever you're watching. Other genuine GAA people have concerns for the players safety but not you. Thanks.

Replying To Lockjaw: "Really hope that when all is said and done that we do get great support for the lads on Sunday. Meath will likely outnumber us, so we really need to make ourselves heard encouraging the lads. I think it's vital that we start well and not be giving a talented Meath team any opportunity to seize the initiative.
It was funny trying to explain to my young kids that this doesn't just happen all the time. They've been spoiled with sucecss since Jim came back. Forget 2026 and whatever else is down the line. We need to strike now when the iron is hot." Good man lockjaw. Agree completely. See how many times the players called out their supporters in the post match. It really.matters. given the messing with the tickets Donegal will.dominare the first three rows and we need to roar them.kn tomorrow. Up Donegal.....

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "I think the teacup final should be rescheduled from tomorrow's slot
With the weather supposed to be 30 degrees player safety must be paramount" Into the 30s would be great especially for the dinosaurs walking in the North . They'd be dropping like flies.

Good win for St Pats they look like they will be thereabouts this year hard to see anyone handle Dean Healy in the ckub scene. Dunlavin with a comprehensive win over Kiltegan they could be in with a huge chance in what may be a wide open championship. Big names within the Dunlavin camp and the return of Cian O Sullivan could will make them hard beat this year.

Kerry in a different league to Tyrone. On another day they take a lot of those goal chances and we're probably looking at Tyrone's heaviest championship defeat.

Replying To points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet: "Based on what, exactly? Tyrone never got to grips with Armagh at all in the Ulster final; yet Kerry destroyed that same Armagh. Tyrone forwards take it in turns to play - "you play this week, and I'll watch"; midfield drifts in and out. Hasn't played a full game, with all players contributing, at pace and intensity in years. Struggled to get past a poor Dublin side that is a shadow of its former self (short on pace, and shot-shy). Tyrone deserve their last 4 place, just about, but that's their level for this year at least. Based on current form, Kerry by 6. I only hope it's not worse." Tyrone weren't in the Ulster final. Hardest working midfield in Ireland. Do you follow football? Tyrone to win. Don't care by how many. Boys like you will be the ones crying looking tickets for the final.

Tyrone and Armagh really shown up by Kerry. Under these new rules systems are for the birds. As Mike Tyson said "Everyone has a plan until they're hit in the face with an 8oz glove". Armagh and Tyrone need to bin that slow, horrible sideways and backwards crap which achieves nothing and goes nowhere. When Kerry get the ball they look to get forward, attack and score. With Tyrone and Armagh it's possession, possession, possession.....until they're eventually turned over as Tyrone were today several times. Bin the stupid gameplans and let fellas play.
